​​​Urban Desert
​
I imagine it is a joy to begin one's day with succulent fruit for those who are able,
​
For me, a medley of delicious, nourishing berries is often missing from my table.
​
I dwell within a desert, but not the one that first comes to mind,
​
My urban desert is man-made, a quality grocery store is nearly impossible to find.
​
Yet, bourbon beer and scotch are all right within my reach.
​
I have many options to purchase whiskey, but none for a fresh apple or peach.
​
Oh, how I would love a meal comprised of savory carrots and leafy greens,
​
But it appears that liquor, sweets and cigarettes are the only sustenance I need.

Author Janea D. Harris, owner Supherbooks, LLC and Illustrator/Concept Artist Kimiyo Nishio introduce their latest collaboration, “Through the Window of WINTER, the RABBIT.”
The inspiring story of a rabbit named Winter, who must spend most of her time indoors, away from others to remain healthy.
Based on the real-life story of my daughter who is immunocompromised and who has persevered, even though she has had to stay mostly inside and away from her friends due to the pandemic. Like many children her life changed dramatically at the onset of the pandemic, yet she has not given up on her passions and her friends have not given up on her.
